Rear screen washer jet misdirected - how fix?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I noticed a while ago that the screen washer for the rear windscreen doesn't do a very good job, so I decided to take a look.

 

There appears to be two jets, and I've checked and they aren't blocked. However, one of the jets points off to the corner of the screen and the power of the water means the spray mostly misses the screen making it completely useless (and leaving the screen dirty).

 

I've tried to adjust the positioning but the mounting doesn't seem to turn at all.

 

Is there a way to fix this or is it an expensive trip to the dealers (it's now out of warranty)?

Try sticking a pin into the metal jet itself and gently adjust the nozzle...never done it on the Zed but this is usual way of adjusting them on most cars.

Thanks. I've tried the pin trick, and thus know neither are blocked. However, doesn't seem possible to actually change the direction the nossle is pointing in, which to me seems to be the problem! (perhaps it's always been like this and was wrongly fitted from new? Just not been observant enough to notice, doh).

Hmm will take a look at mine tonight. If it has been wrongly fitted, definately kick off at the dealer. In my experience a good dealer [is there such a thing?!] might fix it out of good will.
